Winners and losers from the third Republican debate
2024 Presidential Election,Republican Party,Debates,Politics
A slimmed-down field of GOP presidential hopefuls took the stage in Miami on Wednesday for a third primary debate.
Only five candidates qualified for the clash: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
The debate was again defined by the absence of former President Trump, who instead held his own rally in nearby Hialeah. There, he was endorsed by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R), who first came to national prominence as Trump’s White House press secretary.
Here are the winners and losers from the night.
